Finally made my vid on social phobia. Just me talking about what it is and what happens to me. Sorry about stumbling over my words a bit, couldn’t concentrate, and this was quite hard for me to make. I couldn’t fit it all onto 1 vid so it is in 2 parts. Some links to info on social phobia: www.nmha.org ada.mentalhealth.asn.au www.adavic.org www.socialphobiaworld.com

You are the one who don’t make any sense here, my friend. I’m very keen on psychology and I know there are many schools arguing among themselves what are the best way to treat people with psychological problems. These schools have also their own interpretation of what causes those problems.
I’m just a supporter of a school which doesn’t believe that someone can be born with such a disorder. That’s all.
PS. And yes, my parents bullied me and I’m not the only one with such an experience.

A lot of people are simply born with these things, it’s not always the way people were raised up.

There is no evidence of proving that social phobia in somethin inborn. As the matter of fact, most of the psychologists say it is not. The only thing that can be innate here is ’sensitivity’ – some people are just more susceptible. But if they are raised in good conditions, they won’t have this problem in life.
Oh, and btw – shyness is also something that you get during your childhood. The scientists proved it by experimenting on dogs. But youtube isn’t a good place to explain it.

Where does your knowledge comes from? Are you a scientist or a psychologist? You probably don’t know anyone who had this condition and cured himself from it. Well, I know a few people who did it and lead a healthy life now.

It usually comes from some severe childhood experiences.

The medical condition you experience by the blushing and such is called Rosecea and you are prone to it, but the bad symptoms won’t appear until your mid thirties or so. Brits are more prone to it. Get help now for it before it explodes into full scale. I know what I am talking about, I have it and I’m over half Brit…proudly on the last : )

I totally agree with you how it can feel. I did overcome this anxiety and my blushing with a few methods I found on the internet, called the blushers manual. I hope you overcome your problems because you sound like such a brave honest girl and deserve to be happy, by they way you are also cute

you are completely wrong dude

I thinks social phobia is not hereditary. Maybe the best way to overcome with this problem is to go out with close family or friends.

black people dont blush, they are so lucky
#13 by juanvalo on September 20th, 2009
i have the same and nobody understand the problem, is really difficult and find somebody like you that really accept this is really difficult.

Hypnotherapy can really be helpful for this condition. The brain has learnt to associate hypervigilence and anxiety with particular situations.Once the fight or flight response is starting to kick in, it becomes self reinforcing, as the anxiety about being anxious and looking red makes it happen. A clinical hypnotherapist will help to lay down a ‘new memory’ of being relaxed in a social situation. Good luck – don’t suffer needlessly.

I have social phobia as well but I am slowly getting over it FINALLY! Thank God. Sometimes I relapse but then I just shake it off. My advice Try to get a job that requires you to forcefully interact with people. It is Either Sink Or Swim.

By the way You are very Beautiful and I love your Accent; It is so sexy. ;D
#19 by Pegbur on October 5th, 2009
Don’t worry about what people think of you.
1. Men are visual, they’re thinking, “God, she beautiful”
2. Always remember, woman like you, or wish they were you, or are jealous of you. And people have their own problems, to worry about what they think of anybody. And just because you think you know what people are thinking, doesn’t make it so.
#20 by Pegbur on October 5th, 2009
Continued:
The only thing people ‘could’ be thinking when they look at you is, SHE’S BEAUTIFUL, and when they hear you speak all they can do is want to pray for you.
Everybody likes you, and if they don’t then they must be simple, and who cares what simple people think, that’s their problem, not yours.

I know how you feel I feel the same way, its a complex phenomenon but I dont beleive that all the blame should go on the individual…I think there are real causes and valid reasons why people feel these ways and I think we need to cultiuvate more understanding and flexibility in society towards issues of social anxiety etc…
#22 by catgumart on October 6th, 2009
When I get out in public its like I cant move or focus my eyes & It is hard to do anything w/o getting overwhelming feelings of anxiety, tonight at the store I was standing there and I was worried that someone thought I was staring at them,I wasn’t I was in line and trying to figure out where to look, sometimes they think it is weird if you don’t look other times if you do, but I try never to stare at people but I see them if they are in my field of vision, so I look above them or to the side
#23 by catgumart on October 6th, 2009
To help me I do yoga, practice music, jog/hike,barefoot run on grass, and eat nutritious foods. I am not social, except I go to the store or I see family, or communicate through Youtube, I get disability, tonight at the store was very stressful for me, very awkward very uncomfortable, I had a panic attack because It felt like people were looking at me/or thought I was peaking at them and I felt like I couldn’t move or breath, so I did some arm shakes and deep breaths, and they thought I was odd

It is I dont take any pharmaceutical drugs because the side effects out way the benefits, also I believe that these feeling are natural and are brought out more by social,cultural factors, I think there are more healthy ways they can be dealt with,like fewer work hours, less stress,good health, exercise etc..I have social anxiety as well as depression, and I get social security disability benefits so I don’t work, many people in this country feel it is not a real disability but it really is.

I’ve had social phobia for many years now. I’m going to a meetup tomorrow (by myself!) in an effort to break out of my shell a bit, but while I am quite nervous, I’m also excited to be doing something totally new.
It also helps to know that I planned this for myself; no one is forcing me into it and I don’t have to worry about “letting anyone down” if I decide I’m not ready for this yet.
Stay strong. <3
